This video work is an attempt to explore the discourse between Kinsfolk's representation of our heritage, the telling of previous generations' stories and the desire to construct and discover our own identity. We wear a Canadian stereotyped outfit while performing repeated action in an attempt to connect with and discover our Canadian identity while contemplating our own Dutch traditions.
The costumes and cheery music become a surface to try and connect with our history and ourselves. As we complete our task we are left still questioning who we really are and what to do next on our journey of self discovery.
